Ty! :-) Yep, learning that very quickly! These 4 are more like puppies! I would LOVe to let both the turks and the chickens free range but I have very bold and plentiful coyotes around here and had to stop free ranging. I suspect these Turks would be sitting "ducks" since they think...

Yes, I read that BB's are for meat and we are good with that, but until they are big enough to butcher, I hope to keep them alive :-) They are already little tanks so I can see where they would get that big so quickly. I am hoping this experience will prepare us for some heritage breeds...

When I started with chickens a couple years ago, it seemed pretty easy.. so when I was offered a few 8 week old BB turkeys I figured, "how hard can it be?" Then henhouse has a separate section but I am finding quickly that 5 feet is NOTHING. They are about a THOUSAND times bigger then I...

LOL Normally I am always hopeful for pullets, BUT I have one GIANT roo who is a sweet thing and for the bigger ladies a good mate. We got him because we figured if we had to cull excess Roo's we might as well breed them to be big for eating. However, I have enough space(a few medium sized...

Well I just am not good guessing! :-) Easter eggers and barnyard mixes.. I just had another from an older group of chicks "I am certain it is a Roo" lay an egg this morning. :-) I cannot complain about more layers! A black and white Easter egger roo will eventually find it's way to me...

Thanks! :-)

Here is a standing up, though not sure what happened with the format..

ya think? well hard to complain if it is a pullet, but was for once hoping for a Roo! :-)

9-10 weeks..

I am 98 percent confident this little guy is a guy! Hoping for a few confirmations.. I have a EE hen that is black and white too and would love for some babies from these two!

Easter Egger? Some sort of barnyard mix? Pullet or Roo? Thanks! My other 3 easter eggers don't have smurf blue legs and she(so I hope!) is huge.. plus none of my are red partridge..

Agreed- 1 is all black, 1 is very barred rock looking(have 1 barred now)and one is more gray/white with less of the cuckoo pattern out of the blacks.. they definitely act much different then browns and do remind me of my barred when she was a chick. :-) They are very lively and not as big as...

Yeah, mine were all different sizes and feathered out all different colors too, which I love about them. One of my EE's is tiny and black and white and lays close to green eggs.. Another is a tank a big huge gray girl that lays very blue eggs like clockwork and one is tall and caramel and...

I was wondering but I got a bunch of easter eggers last year.. now that they are feathering they look different.. and they are huge compared to the batch of easter eggers I got last year.. but maybe? Wouldn't mind a few more pretty eggs in the basket.

Thought these two were bielefelder but the bielefelder people don't think so! So now I have no idea what they are.. any thoughts? The black's are some sort of cross I am sure..

My "fake" bielefelders are feathering and I am still clueless as to what they are! But they are very mellow and so curious.. they don't run away when I go in and stare at me so interested- whatever they turn out to be they seem very sweet and glad I hauled them home. They eat like horses...

:-) I am guilty of chicken math for sure!!! :-) It has been a wonderful adventure and learning curb when it comes to chickens so I am sure I will gain just as much enjoyment from these! I was just looking at the darker one and her legs are bordering on blue! So now really wondering if they...

Thanks everyone.. now to wait and see how they grow out! Could be about anything, but even if they turn out to be easter eggers(LOL love my EE's but they better not be!) I do love the process.. and may have learned a valuable lesson- buy from a researched source if I want something in...

Mine really do look like that! But the adults he had did not.. maybe I got the old bait and switch! LOL But legbar are beautiful, I certainly won't mind them :-) I am in Houston Texas.

So true! A lot do look similar! :-) I just looked at the adult legbar pic's and his adults did not look like them - more like the Biel- but who knows? Now it is even more exciting, I have to wait to know what I have! :-) Like chicken christmas.
